What does the yellow star, or starred result, mean in Google?

Question: What does is mean if I see a yellow star infront of a website at Google search?

Answer: Google has discontinued this, I believe. Starred results are beign replaced by PLUS1 and the SOCIAL SEARCH. All of this means you are ‘signed in’ and Google is ‘snooping’ to see what you recommended earlier. For SEO purposes, you want to avoid customization and always be signed out. If you are seeing stars or customization, that means somehow you are signed IN.
